This heartwarming picture book (based on a true story) depicts a day in the life of Hosea Taylor, a musician who--with his charm, talent, and generosity - brought joy to everyone he met.



Every day, Hosea takes the Number 42 bus into the city to play his shiny brass saxophone - and to hopefully earn enough money. Setting up in his favorite place, Hosea makes sweet music as people greet him with a smile, a little girl dances, and crowds surround him. A surprise ending reveals what the money is really for. Kathleen Blasi's delightful text and Shane Evan's colorful images capture the real-life closeness between the much-loved Hosea - who shared his passion for music and life with everyone - and his community.



An Author's Note explains how Blasi learned about Hosea Taylor (1948-2016), and what compelled her to write his story.
